Frequently asked questions
Are all PDFHarbor tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on PDFHarbor is free with no usage limits, no watermarks, and no premium tier. You will not be asked to pay for anything or sign up to download your result.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign up, no login, and no email collection. Open the tool, drop your file, and download the result.
Are my files uploaded to your servers?
No. PDFHarbor tools process files entirely in your browser using local JavaScript. Your documents never leave your device, which is why the tools work even when you go offline after the page loads.
Which PDF tools does PDFHarbor offer?
Twelve tools covering the most common PDF tasks: Merge PDF, Split PDF, Edit PDF Pages, Rotate PDF, PDF to Word, Word to PDF, Image to PDF, Compress Image, Protect PDF, Unlock PDF, Basic OCR, and PDF Metadata cleaner.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Every tool works in any modern mobile browser on Android and iOS. Some operations on very large files may be slower on older phones, but functionally everything works.
Is there a file size limit?
No hard limit. The practical limit is your device memory. Files under 100 MB work smoothly on most laptops and phones. Larger files may slow your browser but still process.
What is the strongest encryption for Protect PDF?
PDFHarbor uses RC4 128 bit encryption, supported by all major PDF readers including Adobe Reader, Chrome, Edge, and Preview on Mac. It is suitable for everyday document confidentiality.
Does OCR work on handwriting?
Basic OCR works well on clearly printed text in all major languages. Accuracy on handwriting is much lower (typically 30 to 60 percent) and is not the intended use case.
